I felt she was innocent-just a gut feeling.

Q Yes. And, Doctor, when you came in the other day to tell us what you knew about this case, and what you believed about was the age of this particular injury, at that time, you had had access to, and had looked at the skull fracture of Matthew Eappen, had you not, Doctor?
A I had looked at certain photographs, but not those photographs.
Q That wasn't my question. Had you looked at X-rays --
A I'm sorry.
Q -- that were taken by Children's Hospital of Matthew Eappen's skull fracture?
A I have looked at the X-ray, two X-rays, that were taken on admission I think, two flat X-rays. And then there were the CAT scans.
Q I'm not asking about the CAT scans, Doctor.
A The CAT scans. It's the two --
Q I'm asking about the --
A -- regular X-rays, yes.
Q And you saw on those X-rays that there was a skull fracture --
A Yes.
Q -- of Matthew Eappen's head.
A Yes.
Q And you didn't come in on Friday and tell us, based upon the X-rays, that you could tell that Matthew Eappen's skull fracture was three weeks old, did you, Doctor?
A No, I could not. I cannot from those X-rays.
Q You can't tell from the X-rays, can you?
A Not from those X-rays.
Q I see. But you believe that, from looking at this picture that you saw on Sunday, you can now say, by eyeballing it, because it appears to be smooth and rounded, that you believe it's not a new fracture, is that correct?
A Absolutely true, yes.
Q You looked at other pictures of Matthew Eappen's fracture prior to the time you came in last Thursday, isn't that true?
